You braindead, idiot scammers in this thread have NEVER once explained how the price of Bitcoin can go to $500k or even $50k while cost of production is $3-6k. Nobody would ever buy a coin for $500k when they can simply mine one for $3-6k instead. And mining CAN'T expand by an order of magnitude to drag cost of production up or it would use more power than the entire United States. The crypto pump and dump scam seriously is butting up against the limits of the natural world now but that sure doesn't stop you scammers from posting complete bullshit 24 hours a day.

You are forgetting the reward halving, this alone can make the price double without any extra power needed.

Also, miners can get more efficient in future and use wasted energy., Energy is largely wasted nowadays, because of using peaks (think about nuclear and hydroelectric i.e.)

As today a fast-growing price will only push miners to build more facilities and even turn on older machines until they are not profitable again, we have already seen it. Industry can still grow very fast, and energy is (for now and for the foreseeable future) not an issue at all.

I have roach on ignore but would be happy to counter his misinformation in this instance. Bitcoin (per coin on average) costs anywhere between $1,300 and $37,400 to mine depending on where you are in the world. As you can see, mining is prohibitively expensive in much of the world (this is based on today's prices):

https://coinrate.com/cryptocurrency-mining-prices-and-profitability-by-country-in-realtime

And yes, not anybody can just start up their own mining operation to get "cheap coins." Most mining farms operate in the red for months or years before turning a profit -- they are invested in the long haul and weather unprofitable periods on the bet that the price of BTC will continue to increase in the future.

Besides, roach should know as well as anybody that the market dictates prices. This is what gives BTC - like any traded good in the world - its premium.

Fully fledged Merit Cycler - Golden Feather 22-23

It's time for a Wall Observer Meta Post!
Sorry to repeat the post, I didn't think I posted only hours before LoyceV updating his merit files.
I just wanted to do so because.. YES! I'm now Full Member on WO Thread!

What if WO were Bitcointalk?
So basically what happens considering only the merits awarded on WO thread?
How many Legendary Users? How many Heroes?

Thanks to my very basic Data management Skill and LoyceV data, I manage to pull out the following very unuseful statistic:
OF course the heatwave over Europe prevented me on smartly compute WO activity, so I am basing on Merits only.

You are forgetting the reward halving, this alone can make the price double without any extra power needed.

Also, miners can get more efficient in future and use wasted energy., Energy is largely wasted nowadays, because of using peaks (think about nuclear and hydroelectric i.e.)

As today a fast-growing price will only push miners to build more facilities and even turn on older machines until they are not profitable again, we have already seen it. Industry can still grow very fast, and energy is (for now and for the foreseeable future) not an issue at all.

There is some evidence (or at least I read about it) that there are about 1 mil btc in the trust.
Not sure if it is correct or not, but if it is incorrect, then these Florida proceedings make no sense.

I for one have not read of one single thing that points to this trust existing in any form whatsoever. There's never been any indication that Satoshi's coins are anything but a dormant mystery and no amount has ever been established.

I always presumed these proceedings made no sense from the start. It will dawn on everyone having their time wasted soon enough. Since it's civil I assume anyone can accuse anyone of anything as long as they have a bit of money to get rolling.

I thought it was around this whole CSW came and took a wallet file after Dave was dead ? whatever you do don't delete this file blah blah

There's some comedy gold unfolding in the courtroom right now.

This lady has been doing an excellent job in live tweeting CSW's court case.

"Craig was very emotional and cried a couple times during the hearing"

https://twitter.com/KatieAnanina/status/1144649657710022658

"Some highlights:
Are you satoshi? - yes
Do you recognize this White Paper? - I wrote it
Why did you leave BTC and disassociated with Satoshi? - My invention was used for bad things *crying*. They created #silkroad and #hydra. It was used to fund child pornography"

https://twitter.com/KatieAnanina/status/1144653512527273986

"I was ashamed of my invention"
-Craig S Wright
#faketoshi

https://twitter.com/KatieAnanina/status/1144660285283864576

"CSW just threw in the air a hard version of an exhibit. He is getting emotional😬"

https://twitter.com/KatieAnanina/status/1144664561196445696

"CSW keeps not answering questions regarding the exhibits and respond with a question back. Playing with words a lot. The judge announced 5 minutes break and advices Craig's lawyer to talk to her client about the way he answers questions."

https://twitter.com/KatieAnanina/status/1144666525237940225

Last tweet was 45 minutes ago... Maybe the court silenced tweeting... (if that's a thing)

Also, per another person in the court room, Craig said:

- he doesn't care about bitcoin
- to "save his soul," he's waiting for bitcoin to go really high so he can sell it to fund educational programs
- he doesn't have the BTC addresses because "Due to the way it was set up with the trust, Dave using anon sources to exclude Craig from knowing, as instructed by Craig."

Can they ask him why he said the other day about the first time he READ the whitepaper

Does anyone want to have a local copy of this thread? I could compress all pages into a downloadable file, so you can search the raw HTML for old posts.

How big would that be? Put it in the BSV blockchain, they have gigabyte blocks. The only other thing there are weather stuff.

Don't mean to get technical on you all the sudden by I was looking into it the other day and as of right now its only possible to cram 100 KB of data into a single BSV transaction (or 4 JJG posts -- sorry JJG, you know I'm still a fan).

BSV has long had widely-distributed tools to split larger files into multiple txs, and concatenate them upon retrieval into original large files.

I heard somewhere (I only come here lol) they also have backup servers to roll back any crap.

So might just be wasted money, unless maybe to demonstrate the centralisation (that no one doubts anyway)

I would prefer my posts to not be broken up, otherwise they might be read out of context. PLEASE tell craig.

I'm not in regular contact with Craig, so will be unable to pass along your request.

That said, these tools surrounding the SV protocol are standalone items created by unrelated individuals. So Craig is not involved in these. What's more, nChain is not involved. See, SV is a wonderously rich ecosystem of scads of unrelated parties all building atop Bitcoin.

Further, perhpas you missed where I clearly stated "... concatenate them upon retrieval into original large files"

You think the present day power consumption of Bitcoin can increase by two orders of magnitude? HAHAHAHAHA.

Over time the block rewards will decline and miners will also actually use less power but the cost for the hardware will probably be more of a factor than the cost of power at some point. However when it comes to the amount of power that can be used ... considering that current world's power requirements could be handled with less than 120,000 sq km of solar panels ... at growth of 100x power use for bitcoin over the next 100 years won't be an issue. Like metals, energy is actually in abundance, we just haven't had the technology in place to use it. (120k sq km is about 0.024% of the earth's surface area, I just showing how little of our available power we actually use. Solar is only one technology, fusion based power plants could exist 100 years from now.)

A few years ago I really thought power would be a problem, but then I started doing some computations. Energy isn't the issue, technology and politics are the issues. However since bitcoin depends more on networks than location, politics can be bypassed.

Ok but I think nobody cares about the price in one century or even 2 or 3 decades. We are talking about the price in few years/months here.

I am planning to be dead in about 3-5 decades (and that is being very charitable regarding my longevity)...

So, yeah, starting to cash out some in a few years might be a good plan.. .that way can enjoy some of it.. and spread it to some others.

I saw a few studies of demographics of people entering bitcoin: young people in their 20’ s looking at crypto’s to invest their little savings: crypto can be to generation alpha (post 2000) what stock market has been to baby boomers.
Well your point is also interesting: early bitcoin adopters probably were in their 30’s. So their hodl won’t be indefinite, but they will start cashing out sooner or later. Also because they DO HODL massive amounts of Coins.

Depending on our level of confidence, we can cash out in large chunks or incrementally... like my plan to cash out 1% per quarter.

However, if I have some emergency issues, I might feel it necessary to cash out more. My cashing out will probably not be price dependent because I have a lot of cushion; however, my opinion now could be changed if I become no longer an accumulator and maintainer, but instead someone who is either regularly cashing out with a kind of passive income or if I also chose to delve deeper into cashing out some of the principle, too.

In either event, I still consider my beginning any kind of cashing out, whether lighter or heavier, to be at minimum a few years away... and most likely would start out as a kind of light and incremental cashing out rather than the heavier possible cashing out variation.

However when it comes to the amount of power that can be used ... considering that current world's power requirements could be handled with less than 120,000 sq km of solar panels ... at growth of 100x power use for bitcoin over the next 100 years won't be an issue. Like metals, energy is actually in abundance, we just haven't had the technology in place to use it. (120k sq km is about 0.024% of the earth's surface area, I just showing how little of our available power we actually use. Solar is only one technology, fusion based power plants could exist 100 years from now.)

A few years ago I really thought power would be a problem, but then I started doing some computations. Energy isn't the issue, technology and politics are the issues. However since bitcoin depends more on networks than location, politics can be bypassed.

Ok but I think nobody cares about the price in one century or even 2 or 3 decades. We are talking about the price in few years/months here.

I am planning to be dead in about 3-5 decades (and that is being very charitable regarding my longevity)...

So, yeah, starting to cash out some in a few years might be a good plan.. .that way can enjoy some of it.. and spread it to some others.

I saw a few studies of demographics of people entering bitcoin: young people in their 20’ s looking at crypto’s to invest their little savings: crypto can be to generation alpha (post 2000) what stock market has been to baby boomers.
Well your point is also interesting: early bitcoin adopters probably were in their 30’s. So their hodl won’t be indefinite, but they will start cashing out sooner or later. Also because they DO HODL massive amounts of Coins.

Altcoins will disappear because bitcoin can do anything and they do not make sense. Only BSV will remain because this is the version of bitcoin with a large block that is needed

Just made me fell down while laughing at this.

Good news-it would mean unbelievable prices ahead (300K-500K)

You braindead, idiot scammers in this thread have NEVER once explained how the price of Bitcoin can go to $500k or even $50k while cost of production is $3-6k.

The cost of production of $100 bill is $0.18. The cost of production of digital $ tokens is virtually zero, just a few key strokes on the keyboard. Well, who is the braindead idiot scammer in this thread?
